Unsafe

Chapter five.

The girls were being taken care of in the hospital. The paparazzi swarmed the whole area, making it impossible to get in or out which is very dangerous.

Niall and I were in the hospitals gift shop, getting teddy bears for the three girls. He paid for them and they each came with tags attached to the ears that one could write on.

Niall grabbed a pen and began writing.

'Thank you for being so strong. We appreciate everything you do. Love you. ~ Nialler + Mel'

"here," he handed the pen to me, "write this one for the girl who was shot in the chest."

I nodded and wrote.

"We admire you. You were very strong and cooperative, feel better soon. We love you. ~Mel + Nialler.'

Niall wrote the third one.

'Thanks for all your love and support. I noticed your 1D clothes. I hope you recover well. Love you. ~Nialler + Mel'

"That one for the girl shot in the shoulder?" I asked and he nodded.

He grabbed the two bears he wrote on and I grabbed the one I did. We headed for the elevator and waited for the ding. Once the doors opened, doctors piled out in a frenzy and charged for the front doors. Niall stepped on the elevator but I watched the doctors.

They were trying to move the papz.

"Mel!" Niall snapped, I turned and looked at him holding the door open for me.

"Shit," I mumbled under my breath and stepped on.

The doors closed and Niall pressed F5.

"Why were you all zoned out,  Mel?" Niall asked, looking at me with concern.

"The doctors. They have to put their job on hold to yell at the stupid papz to move," I sighed and stared at the floor.

Niall stepped closer to me and placed his hand under my chin, lifting my face up to meet his.

"Hey," he whispered, "Baby this isn't your fault."

I nodded. Niall closed his eyes and inched closer to me. His lips pressed against mine and the elevator door dung. We pulled away and he rubbed my back comfortably.

We stepped off the elevator and made our way to the room of the girl shot in the shoulder. I stood behind Niall as he knocked on the door. We waited and it was opened to reveal a woman, tears in her eyes.

"Niall?" she questioned and he nodded.

"Oh, please come in!" she cried.

Niall and I stepped inside to see the girl who was shot laid on her bed, her shoulder was all wrapped up.

"N-niall," she chirped, then looked at me, "Melody?"

We smiled and walked over to her.

"We got this for you," Niall explained proudly, holding up the bear.

The girl gasped, "thank you so much." He handed her the bear and she cuddled it in her arms.

"Niall, Melody," we turned our heads to the lady who let us in, "You saved my babys life. How could I ever repay you?" she pleaded, tears running from her eyes.

I smiled and walked to her side, pulling her in a small hug, "you don't need to. We were happy to save her," I let go of the woman and walked back to Niall and the girl.

"How about a picture?" the girl asked, smiling.

I looked at Niall and he nodded his head.

I walked to the other side of the bed and sat on one edge as Niall sat on the other. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. I smiled and did the same. I noticed the girl holding her bear up with a wide smile as the picture was taken.

We pulled away and laughed.

"We should get going," Niall said.

The girl nodded, "I'm Treasa by the way," she smiled briefly.

"It was nice to meet you, Treasa. I'm just sorry it was in this way," Niall sighed.

She shrugged, "I just hope they find the person with the gun."

I froze and remembered the note, "Us too," I breathed.

...

We left the room and went to the girl shot in the leg. Gave her the bear, took a picture, learned her name was Molly. Her parents thanked us, and we left.

Finally, the girl shot in the chest. We entered to find her sleeping. Niall set the bear on the night stand next to her and asked her father for her name.

"Beth," a tiny voice came from behind us. We turned and noticed the girl stirring in her sleep.

"Nice to meet you, Beth. We're so sorry for what happened," Niall said, grabbing the bear and handing it to her.

Again, we took a picture, wished for a full recovery, then she passed out and we left.
